History
BlueGrace Logistics was established in 2009 as a full-service 3PL by President and CEO Bobby Harris. The corporate office was initially located in Apollo Beach, Florida and was later moved to Riverview to accommodate its hyper-growth.[4] In 2012, BlueGrace Logistics ranked as the #1 fastest growing company in the Transportation and Logistics Industry and the 20th fastest growing private company in the nation on the 2012 Inc. 500 List.[5]
January 2010, BlueGrace launched an iPhone application for calculating shipping quotes from multiple carriers, becoming the first such company in the US to offer mobile capabilities to customers.[6]
Franchise
BlueGrace Logistics launched a franchise program in 2011, which led to 60 national franchises in 25 states across the US.[2] In 2016, BlueGrace bought back many of the franchises and they are now renamed as regional and branch locations.
